Officials will seize all available property to pay the tax
along with a late fee, interest and 50 percent of the value
fraud penalty.
In addition, the district attorney can prosecute for tax
evasion. The penalty for this, if found convicted, is a 2-10
year prison sentence plus a fine equal to the tax.
In Houston, more than $7 million in confiscated funds
have been returned to the city by the federal government
to aid in the drug battle.
"We don't intend to let the streets of our city be taken
over by those who are exporting misery, despair and
death," former Houston Police Chief Lee Brown said.
Houston Independent School District is debating a
random drug test program for students and staff. The
plan, which is supported by Superintendent Joan Raymond, is another example of the hard-line approach.
At UH, the police department reports that the drug
problem is surprisingly small.
"I wish we (the police department) could take credit for
our lack of a problem," UHPD Lt. Richard Russell said.
"We've been extremely lucky."
Police officials have reported eight arrests for controlled substance since the Fall of 1988. Only two of
those involved UH faculty, students or staff.

Russell said.
Alcohol-related incidences on campus during the same
time period totalled 29, approximately six that involved
UH personnel or students.
In contrast, Dr. Ken Waldman, associate director of UH
counseling and testing said few students come in specifically requesting treatment for drug and alcohol problems. However, abuse of the two substances is attributed
to many of the cases the center deals with on campus.
"Who's responsible?" Bush asked. "Everyone who
uses drugs. Everyone who sells drugs. And, everyone
who looks the other way."
The drug problem continues. It has remained unstoppable despite countless arrests and confiscations of controlled substances. It is a problem of the present and of
the future.
"What happens in the rest of the century will depend
on what happens in the minds of the kids in every
stratum of society," Max Lerner, political columnist said.
"On what images are fixed in their memories, whom
they identify with, what values they internalize, how
much responsibility they learn to take for their conduct
and its impact on society.
"It is an imperfect society, but it's worth saving from its
predators."-Shannon Crabtree
